Do you collect the whole set or just get certain ones?

Postby **keyese** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 1:17 am

When collecting, do you like to get the whole set and be a completionist, or do you like to focus on certain characters? Does it depend on the set?

For me, I have very few lines that I don't complete. I just feel the need to complete them even if the exclusives are just variants or characters that I don't necessarily like as much. But I do have a couple lines like the Steven Universe PSH that I gave up on finding all the exclusives so I just have a few of my favorites.

How do you collect mystery minis or pint size heroes lines?

I just try to get my favorites. I don't have the money or space to complete any sets. Even if I could, I don't think I would. There's always at least a few from each set that I have no interest in owning.

It depends on the line. I used to be a completionist on any line I got into. Now I keep that to a few select lines and then just pick up items I think are cool when I see them. There are just too many releases to complete them all.

I feel like it is a bit of both focusing on certain characters and the set. For example, I love rick and morty so I want to complete the whole set for the mystery minis (which is a pain btw because of the target and hot topic 1/24 exclusive.) On the other hand with DC and Marvel, I mainly go for the characters that I like rather than trying to complete the set especially if it is batman, superman, or captain america related.

I used to collect the whole line, but lately have just picking and choosing certain ones I want due to space/money constraints.

Postby **danioh77** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 3:08 am

i do both, Set for Disney+HarryPotter and some line i collect only the one i like.

Postby **HowardTheDuck** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 3:10 am

I do not and will probably never own a full set of Minis or PSH. I just like to pick up a handful from most sets.

Postby **socaliwong** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 3:49 am

Personally..... I only try to collect the ones that doesn't have so many variants and something that I grew up with. Which is why I have a VERY little pop collection. :roflmao:

Gotta catch 'em all.

Postby **jimma** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 7:47 am

Just my favorites. Im not a completist at all

Postby **KnightsOfRey** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 9:42 am

I usually start out just going for certain figures and then the compulsion takes over and I end up going for the whole set. I think MM look best displayed as a set.

Postby **funkystark** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 9:50 am

whole set, has to be for me.

Right now I'm working on steven universe and won't bother starting another one until this one is done.

Postby **Kaosu** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 10:22 am

Depends on the set but some lines I just collect the characters I like.

Postby **booboo79** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 10:48 am

I used to be a completionist then realized it was much more important to me to collect the ones from each line I found the most appealing (instead of all of them).

Postby **pinklaquer** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 10:58 am

It honestly depends on what the line is to me. There are certain things that i would like to complete and others I'm "meh" about and other characters in the line are an easy pass.

Postby **Imagery** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 11:43 am

It really depends on the series and even then it can be difficult since a lot of exclusives aren't available in Canada. So a lot of the time we consider our sets "complete" if we've gotten all the ones we could without resorting eBay.

Postby **Jary1** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 12:00 pm

Depends on the set... Disney princess & companions
Disney villains & companions (missing Lotso & Strectch)
And the hunting in NYC w/ no Wal-Mart nearby ain't fun
With all the new lines coming out I'm just gonna go for the ones I like . Completing a set and ending up with all them doubles ain't funny no more. I am going for an army of Mr Meeseeks :freddy2:

Postby **RogueSolo** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 12:48 pm

I usually collect whole sets of lines that I want. Otherwise, I'll only go after one or two figures that I like from the rest.

Postby **Lord Snow** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 1:05 pm

Kind of in between. I have pretty much all of the common Game of Thrones ones and most of the exclusives, but no dragons or Drogo or prisoner Jaime because they're too expensive.

Postby **Zero_Mistro** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 7:05 pm

I just get certain ones.
For example, Shonen Jump Series 2 I was only trying to get Death Note and Dragon Ball Z. I haven't watched bleach or One Piece. For the upcoming Sci-Fi series for PSH, I am aiming at just a few. And thats because I usually get Minis for my work desk and wan't it to represent what I like.

Postby **post31** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 8:07 pm

I just go for what I like. Which means I tend to trade a lot.

Postby **toro423** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 8:08 pm

I get just the ones I want. Not enough room to get everything. The problem is, I want alot haha

Postby **angeladominguez** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 8:09 pm

It's mostly the whole set for me, except for a few here or there.

I only have both reptars from the Rugrats line because it was always my favorite from the TV show. That's been the only case. Other than that, there are some sets I'll never finish, like Star Wars.. thats a hard line to complete for me.

Postby **ShyGuyPal** » Fri Jun 16, 2017 9:39 pm

There are a few I like to fully collect (Horror, FNaF), but otherwise maybe one or two from the line I like. There are many I don't even touch though.

Postby **Squird** » Sat Jun 17, 2017 10:29 am

Just the ones I like. Too many out there to collect sets.

Postby **emk194** » Sat Jun 17, 2017 12:08 pm

Really depends on the set. For example, got the Death Note set because I wanted all of them. Otherwise, I really just don't have the room to buy the full set. Plus there are Pops that I just don't like. Not gonna force myself to buy them.

Postby **Shalee04** » Sat Jun 17, 2017 12:12 pm

I used to collect whole sets of everything, but now because of space I collect what I love, hahahha which is usually whole sets. :rolleyes:

Postby **Jezter** » Sat Jun 17, 2017 12:52 pm

I don't usually buy whole sets, because due to funds and lack of space, I just don't NEED all characters, especially if they are ones I don't care much about. Like for Guardians, I just don't care about Mantis or Taserface, so unless they get super cheap, I doubt I'll complete that line. I don't buy a lot of DC or Marvel characters if I don't care about them either, and some other lines, just can't do it.

That said, I do want to buy all the Doctor Who, and all X-Men, especially Wolverine. I also try to get every Superman that comes out, but I don't need full lines that he comes in, like Justice League, I'll probably just get him and Flash and that's it.

I actually have quite a few Marvel and DC I sometimes think about selling, since I don't care about them as much as I do other ones, but I can't bring myself to do it...yet.

Postby **Funko Pop! Fan16** » Sat Jun 17, 2017 1:24 pm

Same as everyone is saying, depends on the set, I collected all Horror Series 3 Minis because I loved them all, but other than those I just grab random Minis from lines that I like, but don't need the whole set.

Postby **Mister Piggy Wiggy** » Sat Jun 17, 2017 1:26 pm

I try to go for the whole set. Easier said than done.

At first I just collect those I like... But it's an addiction. Once started u start to buy n buy til u collect everything!

Postby **theraven00** » Sat Jun 17, 2017 4:13 pm

Depends on the set. I have all 3 of the Guns N' Roses! Also all of the regular set of TMNT (not exclusives, just regular line), and V for Vendetta (all 1 of the regular line, hopefully the SDCC version one day as well). But I also collect Star Wars and there's no way I'll ever have the space, time, or money to complete it, so I typically focus on the ones I like from that line.

Postby **willy wonka** » Sat Jun 17, 2017 5:00 pm

We buy sets of what we like!

Postby **mactds** » Sat Jun 17, 2017 5:52 pm

I'm pretty picky, and just get favorites from a set. I might even move an old mold out if a better one is released. A recent good example, Mr. Robot pops. I just wanted chase Elliot, got it, and don't need the others in the set, but that's just me.

Postby **groundhog7s** » Sat Jun 17, 2017 6:31 pm

I only collect the ones I like, however I just happen to like every single Pint Size Heroes figure.

Postby **dexiesmom** » Tue Jun 20, 2017 9:02 pm

As most of the people have said here, depends on the line for me. If it's Disney or Rick & Morty, I try to go for the whole set. This depends though on rarity (I can't justify shelling out $40+ for a mini). But with other lines I just get who I like or think is cute.

Postby **big_matt** » Wed Jun 21, 2017 2:04 pm

I'll go with the consensus - "It depends". For things that are of a related property - X-Man, FNAF, Steven Universe - I have the full set. For Horror or Sci-Fi, I usually don't like the full set (not aesthetically, just preference), so I'll pick and choose.

Postby **levixkelly** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 3:33 am

I used to try and get whole series, but it gets way too expensive. Also there's some pops I just don't care to have so now I just get ones I like.

Postby **GraphicSilence** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 9:26 pm

It depends on the set. Usually I just get what I like, but I'd it is Batman then I collect the whole set. Or at least I try to.
